CATALYST FOR THE CONTINUOUS REMOVAL OF CARBON MONOXIDE GAS IN HIGH HUMID ATMOSPHERE AND THE PRCESS THEREOF

摘要

This disclosure provides the development of an excellent palladium impregnated silica catalyst to achieve continuous protection against carbon monoxide gas in high humid atmosphere having humidity greater than 95 % and at ambient temperature. The material was prepared by impregnating silica with palladium chloride using incipient wetness technique followed by liquid phase reduction to palladium. The developed material was found to be working as a catalyst in oxidizing carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and provided excellent protection against it. This material/catalyst can effectively be used in filtration systems such as CO filters in enclosed area to remove carbon monoxide gas.
